In this episode, Wendy sits down with Leighann Shafiq, an American nurse living in the Swiss mountains who went part-time to be more present for her young daughter. Her photography business gave her the financial confidence to make that leap. She's living proof that taking inspired action—not just manifesting—creates the life you want.
They explore:
- How Leighann moved to Switzerland for a seasonal ski camp job and never left
- Why her photography business gave her the freedom to go part-time in nursing
- Why manifesting the feeling is more powerful than manifesting the thing
This is a conversation about living in the messy middle and taking inspired action. Leighann shares why there's always a barrier, and that doesn't mean you shouldn't pursue what you want—it means find a way, ask for help, and take the next step.
